'FIR' writer Amit Aaryan said he doesn't consider Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar as writers, adding, "They've only copied things...their entire life." Citing example of 'Sholay', Amit said it was similar to 'Mera Gaon Mera Desh', 'Do Ankhen Barah Haath' and 'Seven Samurai', which were released before 'Sholay'. Salim-Javed's 'Deewar' had same climax as Dilip Kumar's 'Ganga Jamuna', Amit added.
